Provided Emilia is already thousands of miles from home, I do not think there is a single team that could take her away from Buffalo, regardless of city. However, I would love for the SHL to go intercontinentally - i.e. add a European or Asian team to the mix. Domestically, one could opt to add Washington, D.C., New York City, or even a midwestern city like Indianapolis are all options for the U.S.

I also think it would be appropriate to split Texas's influence over the largest U.S. state by splitting it to Dallas, Houston, etc. and adding one of the other large cities to the league.
